The Green Pharmacy Guide to Healing Foods  by James A. Duke
The original ‘The Green Pharmacy’ quickly set the standard for consumer herb references and solidified the author’s reputation as an authority on medicinal plants. In his new book, Dr Duke turns to the broader and even more popular subject of food as medicine, drawing on more than 30 years research to identify the most powerful healing foods on earth. Dr Duke’s food remedies help treat and prevent the whole gamut of health concerns, from minor (such as sunburn and the common cold) to more serious (like arthritis and diabetes). Dr Duke has assigned a rating to each remedy, according to his evaluation of the available scientific studies and anecdotal reports. Some of the healing foods recommended here may outperform popular pharmaceuticals.
